Few pics of my almost finished 81

I finally have my 81 truck basically done, and now working out the bugs, so wanted to share some pics. Its a 81 with roll cage bed, motor is a rebuilt (with minor work) 22re, 5 speed, 4:30 single t-case, 5;29's with ARB's, built front axle, 37" grooved Baja's, recentered 24 bolt military bead locks. custom paint, and much much more.

 

few more

 

nice! I like the lights in the grill. how much of a pita was wiring the 22re? I got an 81 and would like to do something better than the 22r

 

I got the complete wiring harness with the motor. Running just what needed for motor, no emissions and such. My buddy did most of it, so splicing the harnesses together was a good weekend day for us

 

good god this is beautiful

 

Thanks almost a 2 year build, started with lift then next thing frame and cab in the garage

 

Looking Good!

 

this is sooo awesome

 

Do you have a close up of the lightbar on the roof?

 

Here little better. I actually took it off. My buddy made the mount, its to tall for me (almost baja style) redoing it to stick near top of window and little more out of harms way. I hope!

 

Great job. Really diggin' the paint as well. Any plans on caging the interior or body?

 

the inside is already caged, tied to the frame and comes out the top of cab to the bed cage. I will probably never cage the outside. There very useful, but im not a throttle down and see what happens, i like to pick lines that require more thinking and placement. but if the line requires damage oh well. Its built for one purpose.

 

the truck in your pic, who made the bad rack? in the search for one for my 08

 

Good work op, looks good

 

It is an custom aluminum built built by CBI in Idaho Falls. An incredible 4x4 shop and fantastic people. If you can dream it, they can fab it.

 

sweet thanks
